Season 3 Episode 28, “Buddhist I Ching ‘2’, 2.22.22”. - a podcast by Stanford Green aka. Cee Bee

In this episode, CeeBee connects the number 2 with the Buddhist book ‘I Ching’. The number two is a powerful number in Numerology and in I Ching. He read from the book, 'The Buddhist I Ching' Chih-hsu Ou-i translated by Thomas Cleary. 

Earth

earth below, earth above

The creative is successful. It is beneficial to be correct like a mare. People with developmental potential have a goal; if they go ahead before this, they will get lost. If they follow, they get the benefit of the director. Companionship is found in the southwest; companionship is lost in the northeast. Stability and correctness bode well.

All six lines of this hexagram are yin, so it is called Earth. Earth means re- ceptivity, docility. In the sky, it is shade; on the ground, it is softness. In people, it is humaneness. In the essential nature of consciousness, it is tran-quillity. In cultivation, it is the practice of stopping the mind. In the material world, it is support. In the physical body, it is the abdomen and the organs it contains. In the home, it is the wife. In a country, it is the ministers.

If it is receptive and docile, it will act without backlash, so this creativity too is successful; but it must take advantage of the correctness of a mare, which follows the stallion tamely. This refers to people with developmen- tal potential embodying the qualities of Earth to practice the way of enlightenment.

Thank you for listening. Peace Family!
